KINGS MOUNTAIN rrr TERRE WKMT Music Director Keith Whitley He outlived the legendary Hank Williams by just over four years. Keith Whitley has an unreleased album with one of the songs being "I've Done Everything Hank Did But die." He was married to Lorrie Morgan, daughter of the late George Morgan, who was a coun- try star. In 1987 their first child, Jesse Keith, was born. Lorrie and Keith became a hot county act. Keith had a number one hit last . year, and followed it with two | more hits. His biggest ambition was to sing, write and entertain. He had worked hard through the years to get to the top. He had worked as a professional since he was fifteen. Things were really moving for him. One day he was sitting in Tree Publishing Company writing songs when "Miami, My Amy" hit. Within four weeks he had 17 work- ing days for one month, his own band and bus. Things happen fast when you have a hit record. On Tuesday, May 9, Keith's mother, Faye, called him at 9:30. She was having some bad premoni- tions, and they had been going on for four days. Keith's phone had been ringing all day. The only call he answered was the one from his mon, not knowing that it was her calling. He picked up the phone af- ter the second ring. Faye said "he sounded so tired. We had a good talk, when I hung up I was still having those bad feelings." Keith's sister had a unexplained experience that morning, she was looking at a colored 8x10 that was sitting in the living room. Quickly the color dis- appeared and was gone from his face, she blinded and looked again, and the color returned. Keith's fam- ily had already experienced tragedy. His father passed away in 1987. In 1985 his brother was killed in a motorcycle crash. Was Whitley living his lyrics, was pressure of being at the top too much for him? Were things hap- pening too fast? One of the most talented country entertainers was dead at the age of 33. Wednesday, May 31, 1989-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 9b Babb Takes Maintenance Course Kenneth W.
